Thu, 23 Jul 2015 07:24:33 +0000http://worldbookies.org/?p=244One man from Nova Scotia is really, really lucky.

Peter McCathie, a full-time convenience store owner and part-time clerk, made headlines earlier this month for winning a $1 million jackpot from Lotto 6/49. Then he made headlines again when people realized that he was the same Nova Scotian who survived a lightning strike three decades earlier.

A Death-Defying Day

“There was one big, white cloud in the sky,” says McCathie about that fateful afternoon, “and the lightning bolt came through the trees and hit me.”

He was 14 at the time and miraculously unharmed, so according to McCathie, he went about his life without thinking much of it. Then something even stranger happened: His daughter got hit by lighting too.

A Crazy Coincidence

While declining to name her in the press, McCathie revealed that his daughter was working as a wilderness guide just a few years ago when she was electrified by nature as well.

All of this leads to July 2015 when McCathie purchased a lottery ticket along with his co-worker. Before they knew it, they’d won $1 million together.

odds of hitting this particular jackpot were one in almost 14 million. The odds of winning the lottery and surviving a lightning strike and having one’s daughter survive a lightning strike are almost too crazy to calculate.

“I honestly expected to get hit by lightning again first,” McCathie told reporters.

His plans for the money involve taking his wife on a second honeymoon.

]]>You should be knowledgeable about the subject prior to placing a bet on a horse in any race. Although the minimum bet amount is £2, and there are adequate opportunities to bet, there is no need to bet in a reckless manner.

The race track condition plays a vital role when it comes to the horses’ performance in any race. Surface conditions are directly related to the type of soil, and in case of dirt track, turf and artificial surface. Other important factors include surface density, moisture content and porosity. Softer grounds are linked to slower racing.

Reading “form” and placing bets

There will be a list detailing every horse entered into races and it can be accessed over the net five days prior the event. Runners who are finally declared will be named 48 hours prior to the race day. The horse’s name will be at the card top, adjacent to jockey colours and owner name.

The weight of the horse will also be given as it affects the chance of winning the race. Every horse is given a standard weight to carry.

It is easy to place a bet:

Go through the provided race and decide the horse you like

Take a decision on whether you prefer your horse to win or in each way

Select the place to bet: the betting ring, the tote, or betting shops

Watching the horses

You can watch the horses from a number of vantage points. The list includes the pre-parade ring, the parade ring, horsewalk and the track. The unsaddling and winners’ enclosure also offers excellent vantage points.

]]>It’s been a long time since we first met Mario on the original Nintendo Entertainment System, as anyone who’s been paying attention to the industry can tell you. For anyone who hasn’t been paying attention, video games have become gigantic affairs in just the past few years and have actually become home to highly competitive arenas that showcase world-renowned players squaring off one another in the virtual world in what has been dubbed as “e-sports.”

E-sports have been around for quite a few years in underground scenes, but with the recent successes of mega popular games like League of Legends and Counter Strike, they’ve been gaining even more traction. Entrepreneurs have begun to take notice, too, as fans of e-sports will now be able to start placing bets on the tournaments they already watch religiously.

Unikrn and Tabcorp

The Seattle based company, Unikrn, has entered into a partnership with the Australian Tabcorp company to bring fans of the games League of Legends, Dota 2, and Counter Strike, as well as a few others the ability to begin betting at e-sports professional tournaments. These games have become massively popular all over the world in places like Europe, Australia, North America, and Asia. The audience is already there, so there is a ton of opportunity for companies like Unikrn that aren’t afraid to take a chance on a relatively untapped community.

The United States

Outside of a few select states, sports betting is still mainly illegal in the United States, which is part of the reason why the US based Unikrn had to enter into the arrangement with the Australian company. The CEO, Rahul Sood, is very optimistic that the US will eventually legalize sports gambling and allow his future e-sports customers to place bets as they’d like in the system. Until then, there are still millions of fans in places like Asia, Europe, and Australia that have fans that are currently able to take Mr. Sood up on his business plan.

For most online casinos, progressive jackpots are an ideal technique to retain the interest of players and make them increase bets to win bigger jackpots.

Omni Casino powered by Playtech is now offering a progressive jackpot which has grown to a fantastic figure of $16.3 million and is continuing to increase further. If any player is able to win the jackpot then the amount may reduce, but its value is likely to shoot up again due to general popularity of progressive jackpot.

]]>So, you think you understand the ins and outs of how to escape a casino with cash in your pocket? Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. The facts are pretty clear, though, that online gambling is an entirely different animal. So the next time you decide to put a big deposit into an online casino, make sure to keep the following tips in mind.

Limit your spending

One of the quickest ways to find yourself out of cash is to not pay attention to how you are spending your money. When you see those guys that make a living out of their online gambling, you know they have to be doing something special.

Avoid impulsive spending

We all tend to dream about what we’d do if we “hit it big” and that dream sometimes pushes us to act recklessly. It’s easy to think that your next spin, roll, or draw might be the winning one, but don’t let that belief sway your betting. Most people end up busting their bank when they overextend out of impulse. Instead of going “all or nothing,” stick to your rational gambling. Nobody ever went broke by taking a small profit. Avoid the big losses this way.

Understand the games

In our fervor to make some cash, we tend to overlook some common things. While games like poker and slot machines are pretty simple, some other games require more thought. A craps table can seem like a different planet when you don’t understand all of the little nuances and the same goes for roulette. So instead of rushing in to throw down your cash, you should take time to read the “How to Play” guides plastered all over the casino. You’ll save yourself some heartache and a whole lot of money.

]]>During most seasons, this would be a game between a top of the table team and a mid-table side. However, Borussia Dortmund are enduring an incredibly poor season, with the club languishing at the bottom of the Bundesliga table. They have only 11 points from their games so far, which puts them nine points behind Hoffenheim right now.

Dortmund will be looking to get a much needed win at home. Defeat in their last game brought heavy boos from the crowd, which is finally starting to turn its back on the players and the manager. Despite these difficult times, Dortmund are still favorites for the game against seventh placed Hoffenheim. Odds of 4/7 are available on a Dortmund win. Hoffenheim have a price of 5/1 to get the win, while the draw can be found at 18/5.

There are many games where betting against the favorites is a bad idea, but this is a unique situation. Dortmund may have the better team and some great players, but they are going through a horrible period. Confidence is low, the team is making mistakes, and they seem incapable of performing at a high level for 90 minutes. Hoffenheim have been a mixed bag themselves, but they should have enough quality to cause Dortmund serious problems.

At 5/1, Hoffenheim represent fantastic value. They are higher in the table, they have won at Dortmund before, and they have very few injury problems right now. A 1-0 or 2-1 Hoffenheim win would not be a surprise.

Ciro Immobile is the favorite to open the scoring in this game. Odds of 9/2 can be found on him. The second favorite is Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang, with odds of 5/1. Both players have had mixed seasons, with some good performances but plenty of missed chances.

]]>The Racing Commission of Texas has approved resumption of horse racing and dog racing in the state, despite legal suits pending against the decision. The decision has run into rough weather, as gamblers would now be using electronic racing machines to perform betting on horses for horse races that have been conducted in the past.

This unique concept, referred to as “historical racing,” is expected to bring back enthusiasm and investment into the business of horse breeding for races that are dwindling across Texas due to stiff casino regulations. The officials voting against this law are worried about long term effect of this betting practice, which is likely to turn into full scale gambling with little benefit to horse racing industry.

Arguments favouring historical racing

The horse racing industry and Racing Commission’s members are the most vociferous supporters of this law, as they feel that it will be a money spinner as witnessed in Kentucky, which reported nearly $30 million worth of wagers within May 2014 from only two racing tracks. The first racing track to set up these digital racing machines will be at Grand Prairie. These virtual horses racing machines will be located at the racing tracks and not within a casino-like environment, so it will bring in people who are enthusiastic about horse racing and breeding. Since it will follow an off-track system for pay-off, there will be better chances at winning.

Casino owners and advocates of gambling have tried to reason with law officials to bring back slot machines without success. They are not keen on giving up this opportunity of allowing real-time gambling, which will also provide funds for financing horse breeding for races.

]]>Horse Racing Could Return to Brockton, MAhttp://worldbookies.org/horse-racing-return-brockton-ma/

]]>Brockton has been a long-time favorite for horse racing fans. However, the venue has not staged horse racing for close to 15 years. There is a chance that might change. The Mayor of Brockton, Bill Carpenter, talked about how recent developments mean that Brockton should be brought back into the fold.

There was a recent closing of the horse racing tracks at Suffolk Downs, which means that a new venue needs to be found. Carpenter recently went in front of the state’s gambling commission and had this to say: “I believe that Brockton is ready to be brought back into the fold. Having horse racing events in the city would be an incredible boost. It would help not only the atmosphere, but a lot of the nearby businesses.”

With Suffolk Downs closed indefinitely, there are currently no venues for horse racing in the New England area. There is a scheduled event at the Brockton Fairgrounds, but that is in 2015 and it has yet to be approved. The event is being organized and run by the owner of Raynham Park.

Brockton’s Mayor continued to talk about the potential financial boost for the area if horse racing returned. He said that the increase in business, both at the racing track and for other businesses, would give the city close to $200,000 in new tax dollars per year. This number would only increase if the event was a success.

The bid for horse racing in Brockton has direct links to a recent casino awarding to Wynn Resorts. Wynn was in direct competition with Mohegan Sun, who were running a joint venture with the Suffolk Downs venue. Mohegan Sun confirmed to the commission that if they did not win the bid to bring a casino to the area, Suffolk Downs would close. When Wynn won the bidding, Suffolk Downs closed for business immediately.

The Suffolk Downs area has been key to New England’s horse racing history since the 1920s. Despite the closure, there are efforts to buy the site and continue racing there. Should those plans be unsuccessful, Brockton is likely to benefit the most.
